Tungsten
Description
The 1.5% lanthanated tungsten electrode with a gold tip/color code is a type of tungsten electrode used in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding.
Nota técnica: En soldadura, "revestimiento/recubrimiento de oro" en los tungstenos se refiere casi siempre al código de color de la punta (Gold tip / Gold color-coded) que identifica internacionalmente al tungsteno con 1.5% de lantano.
Features
Lanthanum is an element added to tungsten to improve its properties. With the addition of lanthanum, the tungsten electrode becomes more stable and has a lower burn-off rate, which extends the electrode's service life. Additionally, the gold color-coding/tip ensures standard identification while the lanthanum composition enhances both electrical and thermal conductivity, helping to maintain arc stability.
Applications
The 1.5% lanthanated tungsten electrode is primarily used for welding stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium. Because it is more stable than other types of tungsten electrodes, it is especially useful for welding high-precision parts that require a clean and precise weld.
In summary, the 1.5% lanthanated tungsten electrode is a type of tungsten electrode used in high-precision TIG welding, making it particularly well-suited for welding stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium.
